Ashley was my hair and makeup stylist for my June wedding in Santa Cruz. She is absolutely amazing and beyond talented, and I was so lucky that she and her team were available. I w...
as hesitant about wearing my hair up because it is not my preferred style, but due to the windiness of our venue it was necessary to do a bun. She worked with me at the trial to do an up-do and adjust my make-up so that I felt beautiful. We had eight other few family and friends also getting their hair and make-up done and she created a schedule that worked with our time-table and her team had us all done precisely on time. She and her team bring such a great vibe during the hours it takes to get ready for a wedding and I would highly recommend booking her!!

Ashley is AMAZING!! I was so nervous about my hair and makeup, especially for the most important day, my wedding. I usually don't do my makeup and my hair is always in the same sty...
le. She put me at ease starting with the hair and makeup trial. I was obsessed after my hair and makeup trials and I just knew I had made the right decision to have her booked as my hair and makeup artist. I told her I wanted a natural look that wasn't too heavy for makeup and I showed her a few hairstyles and she made the perfect in-between that fit my entire look perfectly! The entire time she was an angel of a person and made me feel comfortable. It was seriously like we had been friends for years!
Not to mention the amazing team she had with her, Camille and Tanika were so kind and attentive to all my bridesmaids and family members. Each one of the HMUA did better than we could have all imagined! We all felt so pampered and listened to. I can't express the positivity they brought to each one of us girls.
I can't recommend Ashley enough. My wedding day hair and makeup were so perfect. The makeup was natural but made my face light up and my hair was amazing and even stayed in all night!! She's fantastic with her communication, she goes above and beyond to make you feel beautiful beyond words and she is such an uplifting person to be around! We all are obsessed with Blush Hair and Makeup Design! They are truly the best!!!
If I could give 10 stars I would for Ashley. Not only did she make my hair and makeup looking stunning for my wedding, but she also stepped in to help avert a last minute crisis th...
at unfolded 2 days before my wedding. My man of honor's wife was originally supposed to do my makeup as a gift to me as she does makeup professionally. She was about 8 months pregnant around the time of my wedding and unexpectedly went into labor 5 weeks early, 2 days before my wedding. I started panicking about how I would get my makeup done, and immediately reached out to Ashley who I already had set up to do my hair. She responded very quickly and was ley me know she was able to accommodate doing my makeup for which I am eternally grateful. She was also able to look at pictures I had taken during my trial with my friend's wife and ensure me she could create something very similar. The finished results of my makeup were incredible. It had the natural feel I was looking for in my redwood forest wedding, but just enough pop to show up beautifully in photos. I was also amazed how light my makeup felt and yet it lasted all night. Incredible!
What really exceeded all expectations was how amazing my hair looked and how helpful Ashley was in making my dream a reality. It started with the in person trial we did where she quickly learned how fine my hair is and how difficult it is for it to hold curl. Of course, I wanted a half pulled back style with flowing loose curls below, and went in fully expecting to get told how my vision would never work with my hair. She offered a great suggestion of using hair extensions to add body to my natural hair so the style would hold throughout the wedding. Being a scientist with no hair skills whatsoever I was very appreciative that she helped me pick the correct brand and color that was a match for my hair color and worked with headpiece I used. I can truly say I have never felt more beautiful in my whole life and I have never had curl in my hair last all night. I got so many compliments from friends and family about how great my hair and makeup looked which just served to reinforce how good I felt. On top of all of that, Ashley was just plain lovely to spend time with. It was great conversing with her while getting ready and my bridesmaids played 90's and 00's jams in the bridal suite. All in all I couldn't recommend a vendor more highly.
Nothing but rave reviews here! From the moment she arrived, Ashley’s warmth and personable nature instantly put me at ease. It felt like having a friend there to get me ready for ...
our special day.
Not only does Ashley have incredible talent for hair and makeup, but she also had an intuitive understanding of my style and preferences. She listened attentively to my ideas and concerns, and then worked her magic to far exceed my expectations.
The transformation she created was nothing short of breathtaking. She enhanced my natural beauty in a way that felt both glamorous and true to myself. It was like she captured the essence of who I am and translated it into a stunning bridal look.
I cannot recommend Ashley highly enough to anyone searching for a hair and makeup artist. She truly made our elopement day even more magical, and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU, Ashley!
I got married in Big Sur in August 2023 and was VERY happy with my choice of Ashley/Blush for hair and makeup. I live in Los Angeles and am into fashion and beauty, so my standar...
ds are pretty high in terms of what I expect out of execution, detail, and elegance for my hair and makeup. At the same time, I'm a down-to-earth person and the last thing I wanted was a snooty or high-glam vibe from my stylist on my wedding day. Ashley was the perfect fit. She listened carefully to what I wanted, asked for inspiration photos for myself and everyone in my bridal party, took over 6 hours on my trial making everything just perfect, helped me figure out what kind of hair extensions to purchase, took a long list of suggestions from me about subtle changes I wanted to make for the actual wedding day, and executed them all perfectly. Ashley even volunteered to take home my hair extensions after the trial, wash them, and prepare them for the wedding day. She is fast and responsive over email, accommodating of requests, and very reasonably priced compared to other artists in the area. And best of all she doesn't come off like an annoying LA-type stylist. She is actually someone I would be friends with. She fit in really well with my friends and family, knew just when to laugh along with us and when to be quiet/contemplative to match my changing moods on the day of my wedding. My overall look was romantic, fresh, pretty, elegant, and natural but glamorous. The rest of her team was great as well--we had two different getting ready locations and they covered them both, and really listened to what each member of the bridal party wanted. Ashley and her team go the extra mile and as a Type A bride, she is someone I would work with again if only she lived closer to LA! Thanks Ashley!
Ashley is the BEST! As is her colleague, Camille. Ashley did the hair and make-up for my daughter’s wedding, and everyone was extremely happy with the results: the bride, myself an...
d the MOG, and the bridesmaids. At my daughter’s HMU trial, Ashley listened attentively to her vision and, when asked, provided advice on how to best achieve the look she was striving for. My daughter looked absolutely stunning for her wedding! A perfect balance of natural glow and bringing out her beautiful eyes, cheekbones and lips for an elegant and romantic look. Not only is Ashley gifted artistically, but she is so much fun! There was a lot of laughter exchanged during the trial and on the actual wedding day. Ashley has a fabulous sense of humor. Additionally, Ashley is very professional and organized. Camille, part of Ashley’s team, did the make-up for the wedding. Camille is an absolute sweetheart! She did a beautiful job on all of us. She adapted to the different skin types and requests from each of us and brought out our best features in a natural manner. Additionally, Ashley was proactive by taking into consideration the possibility of fog/moisture in the air at the venue (outdoors near ocean) in the products used for hair and skin. Every single hair style and make-up application held up beautifully throughout the entirety of the wedding ceremony/reception/after party! We wholeheartedly strongly recommend Ashley and her team at “Blush Makeup and Hair.” You will be in the best of hands for your special day! Ashley and her team are very popular though, so book her early!
All the reviews are true! Ashley was absolutely lovely and very competent. I worked with Ashley for my June 2022 wedding and throughout the whole process she was knowledgeable, hel...
pful, and really listened to me. I did the hair and makeup trial with her and Tanika and it was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend it!
Ashley was patient and sweet with me as I figured out what I wanted and pulled it all together to make me feel beautiful on my wedding. She gave me the confidence to take the 100's of photos and feel like a super star. She even managed my Mom!
Quick note to folks who don't wear that much makeup. Ashley had great recommendations for me and guided me to a look that felt natural and comfortable!
Thank you Ashley, you are amazing!
We hired Ashley for our 2-day wedding weekend, including asking her to do an elaborate hairstyle for our Indian event, which included attaching a head piece seamlessly into my brai...
d and hooking heavy earrings into my hair. Ashley. For both events, she worked absolute magic. My hair has never looked so beautiful. Not to mention, she HAND-DYED the extensions that we used so they looked most similar to my natural hair.
Ashley was also so much fun to get ready with. It truly felt like she was one of my bridesmaids/friends and got along so well with my family.
I HIGHLY recommend booking Blush for your hair & makeup needs. Ashley does a truly *magical* job
Ashley was such a pleasure to work with during the planning process, consultation and especially the wedding day!!! She and her team worked so quickly, on-schedule, and made all of...

My hair and makeup was absolutely perfect and stayed perfect all day and night! My bridesmaids and the moms looked stunning and I could tell they felt so confident and beautiful.
We had so many people comment that it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and you and your team truly helped that happen!!! Highly recommend Blush Hair & Makeup Design for your wedding glam squad!
Best Hair & Mua EVER!!! Seriously do yourself a favor and hire Ashley, you will be so happy! I couldn’t express how incredibly stressed I was about having someone in charge of my h...
air and makeup. I’ve never really had a trial that I absolutely loved and, on top of that, I was not local to Ashley therefore could not meet before the day of the wedding. Fast forward to the day of, I was blown away by her kindness, professionalism and overall talent!! She really helped put me at ease. This girl is amazing, the hair and makeup was on point, she gave me the time and attention needed on the phone before hand to make notes - she executed everything flawlessly. On top of that, once I arrived to the ceremony site it was on the beach, cold and with extreme wind (EXTREME Big Sur style beach wind). My hair held up!! I couldn’t believe it and I know in my heart no one else would have been able to achieve this magic. Thank you Ashley, I seriously wish I lived closer. Just book her 😀

e a million bucks. I am so thankful we chose Blush Hair and Makeup Design for our September wedding. Her and her team made the morning stress free and fun while taking extra precautionary steps to ensure safety in midst of COVID. If you're looking for someone who'll take the time to get to know you and your vision, is competitive is price, and cares deeply about her clients, go with Ashley! You will not be disappointed!
Ashley is the kind of person that you want to be around when your nerves are through the roof on your wedding day. She is not only extremely talented at hair+makeup, but she is cal...
ming, funny, and a blast to hang out with. On the day of the wedding, she was almost like a big sister, backing me up and advocating for me! We did a couple hair/makeup trials because I was pretty unsure of my vision and never really get glammed up. Ashley was extremely receptive to my feedback, understood my vision for a “barely makeuped wood nymph”, and executed my wishes perfectly. In looking at her portfolio, it is clear that she can cover the full range of bridal wishes, which truly speaks to her talent. I felt so beautiful (and my husband agreed), and was able to dance my heart out without worrying about my hair and makeup. Shout out to Tanika and Camille, who also helped to make my bridesmaids and mothers look and feel beautiful.
Ashley is incredible! I had a rough idea of what I wanted for hair and makeup, but from my trial on, Ashley helped turn my loose vision into the perfect look! She was so open to fe...
edback and understanding what priorities I had for both myself and my bridesmaids. The morning of the wedding Ashley was such a calming presence! We had a lot of morning-of visitors drop by and she made sure to make time for me to say hello to everyone while still keeping us on schedule. She is absolutely an advocate for the bride if needed, which is so nice to have in your corner on such a busy day. It was a bit crazy but she was so calm and cheerful and helped create a calming and positive atmosphere. Also, the looks she and her team created for both myself, the bride, and my bridesmaids and mother were incredible. Everyone felt beautiful and loved both their hair and makeup and mine was absolutely perfect. It lasted so well throughout the day and was more than I could have asked for. I absolutely recommend Ashley, you will not be disappointed!
Wow - Ashley & her team did an amazing job on the bridal party hair & makeup for our wedding! She was so sweet and easy to get along with during my trial and was a big part of a re...
laxed and fun day on our wedding morning. She is great at taking apart example photos to capture what you really like in the photo to give you the perfect look. She wanted me to be happy and was open to feedback throughout the process. See for yourself - our hair & makeup looked great! https://rachelblackwell.com/matt-devan-oceano/
Ashley was amazing! I can't even write enough good things about her. She was super flexible and ready to try new things on the fly. I would DEFINITELY recommend her!!
Ashley was fantastic!! On the day of a wedding, things can get hectic, but her shop was a total retreat and talking with Ashley was calming and enjoyable. I sent her a few pictures...
of my vision, which was able to pull up quickly and helped expand my vision by asking some great questions about my overall style. Additionally, she kept me on time and I looked like a million bucks. A week later people are calling me and asking me about my hair - it left a real impression.
Ashley from Blush Hair & Makeup Design truly made me feel like a princess for my 10th Wedding Anniversary and vow renewal! I have never felt more beautiful! She was so fun to work ...

nk I looked even better on the wedding day!). Ashley was professional, friendly, flexible and her prices were reasonable. Hair and makeup can be tricky, but she took the time to listen to what I had in mind, make suggestions and put my mind at ease. She totally nailed it come wedding day. Highly recommend.

rtist to do my wedding. Ashley and her team did both hair and makeup for myself and all 5 of my bridesmaids. She listened very carefully and was so easy to work with, even accommodating me for a second consultation when I had slight changes I wanted to go over with her, and was so friendly every step of the way. She and her team were fun and comfortable to work with, and made all of the girls look so beautiful, keeping with our style and theme, but also complimenting each of their vastly different hair colors, textures and complexions. She even gave me a touch up kit I could use (and did!) throughout the day and night of the wedding, and my (fine and stubborn) hair held her style all through the night, which shocked me. The makeup did not budge until I was removing it at midnight – another amazing feat as my makeup tends to be gone within a couple of hours.
Ashley was very talented and a joy to work with, and I highly, highly recommend her for your wedding and/or event!
We were referred to Ashley after another makeup artist had to back up--and we count our lucky stars. Ashley did an amazing job of listening to our needs and concerns and providing ...
some amazing resources to make us all feel beautiful and attended to on our big day. I absolutely loved the look she created for me and my bridesmaids--as well as my mother and mother-in-law. She and her two assistants, Belinda and Deena, also provided assistance to my sister-in-law, who we added last minute. Together they are an amazing team of makeup artists and stylists, dedicated to making their clients feel comfortable and beautiful.
